1. CTR (click-Thru-Rate): This is the biggest contributors to the quality factor contributing about 60% to the score. CTR usually explains the user feedback to the ads and the ad copy.

2. Relevancy: Google place importance on relevancy contributing about 30%. Google checks the relevancy of the search query to the ads and the keywords. Google make sure that only useful ads are shown on the context of search query, ad copy and the products for the good quality score.
